Amadeus' Farewell to Rai: A Move to Nove Amidst Rumors and Negotiations

We had loved each other so much. The story between Amadeus and Rai is about to officially end with the host's move to Nove. Behind this choice is definitely a significant contract offered by Discovery (as for colleague Fabio Fazio), but not only. CEO Roberto Sergio thundered speaking of "an infinity of false news related to Amadeus' contract." However, the rumors surrounding this unexpected farewell do not subside. Amadeus, now Rai tries to retain him: rumors and figures of the negotiation to avoid the host's relocation to Nove. The reasons for the breakup According to Corriere, Amadeus in his negotiation with Rai expressed the desire to establish his own company with which to produce formats to sell to TV, as Fabio Fazio had done. A request that viale Mazzini could not accept due to a change in regulations, which no longer allows producers to be at the same time hosts. Furthermore, Ama had asked for a program for his wife Giovanna Civitillo and the 'non-presence' of his former manager Lucio Presta, husband of Paola Perego who manages several artists including Roberto Benigni, Gianni Morandi, Paolo Bonolis, Barbara d'Urso, Simona Ventura, and Antonella Clerici. The two had recently ended their relationship after years, but the reason has never been clarified. The contract on Nove The operation that will bring Amadeus to Nove is worth one hundred million in four years. That is, the estimate of the advertising revenue of the last Sanremo. For the goodbye to Rai and the transition to Discovery of the host, only the official announcement is awaited. Which could arrive today. While on the four-year investment of Warner Bros it is speculated that about 10% would go to Amedeo Sebastiani. The operation studied by CEO Alessandro Araimo includes a daily access time strip and a musical format on the model of X Factor. Naturally in prime time. For the host, the total amount would be 'close' to Rai's compensations, La Stampa claims. But not higher. And this would support the hypothesis that Amadeus' farewell to Viale Mazzini does not depend on money.
